General 



The Game and Fisheries Act provides that articles "used in violation of this 

 Act and found in the possession of any person suspected of having committed an offence 

 against this Act shall be seized, and upon conviction, be forfeited to and become the 

 property of the Crown in the right of Ontario and sold by the Department." 



In many cases where the offences were of a minor character, the jiersons from 

 whom seizures were made were given an opportunity to redeem the articles seized u[-)on 

 payment of a specified fee fi.xed by the Department. This arrangement applies prin- 

 cipally to firearms and fhshing tackle. The amount realized from such .sales amounted 

 to $5,319.80.
